Run by the award-winning Hush Heath Wine Estate in Kent, this self-proclaimed all-day craft beer pub, ‘British diner’ and live music venue proves that we’ve come a long way since the days of lukewarm hock at the bar. Alongside the winery’s classy Balfour Brut Rosé, today’s savvy drinkers can also sample a neat selection of tipples by the glass, carafe and bottle. Inside, the gleaming double-height space comes complete with a lighting rig and glass and steel staircase – a thoroughly modern backdrop for a meaty breakfast menu, plus Smithfield steaks, burgers, sharing platters and dishes such as sea bass with grilled fennel and sweetcorn salsa. Beer fans should enjoy Meantime’s London Fresh lager straight from the specially engineered stainless steel tanks, while oenophiles and cocktail lovers can explore English wines and spirits in the upstairs Balfour Bar.
